This phone have 4.3 inches LCD screen with Dual Core processor at 1.2 Ghz clock speed. This processor are not too fast but enough to run several daily applications like Facebook or Instagram or Path or Whatsapp or BBM or Line Messenger or WeChat and several other applications. For daily documentations, SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 camera is 5 megapixel with autofocus for better images and LED flash for help give additional light at low light situations.

SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 have dual core processor, this specifications is not too high for running many applications but not too bad if only running standard chatting or social media and office working applications. When the first time we activate this phone, SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 already have several factory default applications, but we can add or install more from Google Play Store either free or purchase one. But some applications from Google Play Store can make trouble if install at our phone, because sometime they have virus or some other mal-ware or spyware or ad-aware. These kind of applications can make our SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 hang or stuck or bricks or broken or blank or freeze. Some users also get trouble with boot logo loop or LCD touch screen not responding. At this time we have to force soft reset or force shutdown or restart or reboot to remove temporary files or cache from trouble applications. If this problem still happen, then we have to do hard reset or master format. Please do not forget to backup all important data at SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 because doing hard reset or reformat will remove all of them.

What should we do when our SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 get trouble or hang or LCD touch screen not responsive? Then we have force shutdown or force soft reset or reboot to restart all applications from beginning then remove temporary files and caches. Please remove the back case cover and unplug the battery, wait about 5 seconds and then put again the battery at its positions then press POWER button to turn on this phone. This process are safe because it will not remove any important data and applications. We also can do soft reset or restart procedure any time when this phone still work normally, press and hold POWER button until pop-up menu appear, then choose Restart / Reboot / Turn off / Power off, after SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 fully turn off, then you can press POWER button to turn on again.

The factory default operating system Samsung Galaxy J1 use Android Kitkat 4.4.4, this firmware already installed and ready to use after we open from the box. There are some possibilities that can make our SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 become trouble and need reinstall the operating system. First, we have to know that clean factory default Android operating system file source already saved safely inside SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 ROM. If we need to reinstall or restore the firmware, then we do not need to copy from other device or gadgets. Just follow the steps to hard reset above, then clean Factory default Android operating system will be reinstall automatically. Please note, the file source of operating system version will be follow the latest update. If we never update any firmware from OTA, then our operating system version will use factory default Android Kitkat 4.4.4.

It is very important to give more security protections for our SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 to keep our confidential data safe while this phone away from us. There are some options that we can choose without need to install anything, we usually recommended to give screen lock pattern security or some users like to use password pin protections. The problems happen when we forget the security screen lock pattern or password pin protection. Do not worry about this problem, because we can easily bypass or unlock forgotten security protections using Google account. Please try to give several time wrong answer continuously until this phone freeze or locked about 30 seconds. At this time, we will find Forgot Password / Pattern button, please press this button then we will find field to input our Gmail username and password that we have already signed in before. If we can not access our Gmail account, then we have to do hard reset using hardware button combination key, but of course all of our important data will be remove or wipe.

The specification of SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 is Dual Core 1.2 Ghz and have limited RAM at 512 MB, which is not in high end positions, however for daily activity this specification is enough. Of course some users get slowly trouble at their SAMSUNG GALAXY J1, usually this problems happen because there are too many applications run in the background and eat more RAM and processor resources. All applications run will use some amount of RAM and processor resource. This RAM will use either for background or foreground applications. Please uninstall some not use applications to give more RAM and processor resource for applications to run. If we want to make our SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 run faster again like new, then we have to consider doing hard reset or master format.

With the minimum specification of SAMSUNG GALAXY J1, we think that this phone will not get any update to Android Lollipop. However, using factory default Android Kitkat version has already give good performance, that is why we should not need to update this phone to Android Lollipop if the upgrade is not official Samsung, because in our point of view, some custom ROM that we could install from other community will sometime not running perfectly and some functions can not work normally as well.

The battery of SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 (SM-J100F / SM-J100FN / SM-J100H-DD / SM-J100H-DS/ SM-J100M / SM-J100MU) is only 1850mAh, this is not too strong enough if we are heavy user. Some users have fast battery drain problem when use this phone. We can try to do some adjustment to make battery life stronger for daily activity. Please try to turn off some not use connection like Bluetooth / Wifi / GPS. We also recommended to set manually the LCD brightness as low as possible. Some applications which always update data also will make battery drain, that is why we should use only important applications although our phone processor and RAM still have more capacity, but this can help to reduce battery usage.

The internal memory of SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 (SM-J100F / SM-J100FN / SM-J100H-DD / SM-J100H-DS/ SM-J100M / SM-J100MU) is 4 GB, this is very limited capacity for smartphone, good news from SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 that we can give more additional capacity with external microSD card upto 128 GB. But we have to know that all applications need internal memory for default storage, and it mean we only have 4 GB and some of this storage also use for operating system and factory default applications, therefore we will get half of that maximum capacity. Please only install selected important applications from Google Play Store. Please note, our Internal memory will also insufficient because some applications like Facebook or Whatsapp or BBM or Twitter also will use internal memory to save their data, therefore after use several moment, our internal memory will be insufficient.
